Mindfulness for Autism

Funded Feb 14, 2023

This donors choose project was created with the goal of providing my middle school special education class with a space that would allow them to decompress in a safe and healthy environment. My class is made up of students that have severe Autism, many of which are nonverbal, so it can be frustrating for them to express their needs and wants when they don't have the verbal words to say it. Creating a space that provides my students with the tools to express how they're feeling, calm themselves down, or simply take a break from the class, wouldn't have been possible without your support. They were so excited to see how filled the sensory corner was when all the materials were set up. Now, they have a sensory filled space that meets each and every one of their unique needs.”
